Thinking About Getting New Chickens that "Scratch Less"

my English Orpingtons lay nearly everyday, I have an Australorpe 14 months old has never layed an egg yet!! I guess it really just depends on the individual chickens.
 
Brahmas are a good breed, very docile. It all depends what your looking for. If you want a docile breed that is a good layer, I would recommend either Australorps, Sussexs or Orpingtons. They have great personalities.

If you want an ornamental fowl, I recommend Sebrights or Silkies (which go broody very often).

There are many other great breeds but these are the breeds I know most about.
I guess like with any critter, it depends just as much on the individuals as the breed. My Brahmas could dig a hole to China in about the same amount of time as it took me to type that sentence!
